(ANSA) - BELGRADE - The Yugoslav Cinematheque in Belgrade
will host the Italian Cinema Festival from 16 to 24 September,
organized by the Cultural Excellence Association in
collaboration with Luce/Cinecittà Institute in Rome and the
Italian Cultural Institute in Belgrade. The Festival, which
comes to Serbia for the second edition - the first in 2016 was
very successful - will focus on the first and second works made
by a new generation of Italian authors, already screened at the
Venice Biennale. Some other events will take place during the
festival, which has a space for meetings with industry
professionals in Serbia with a view to relaunching cooperation
between the two countries in terms of co-production. The
following new Italian films are going to be screened for the
first time in Serbia: - 'The habit of beauty' di Mirko Pincelli
- 'Cuori Puri' by Roberto De Paolis Maino - 'Dopo la Guerra' by
Annarita Zambrano - 'Ho amici in Paradiso' by Fabrizio Maria
Cortese - 'Piuma' by Roan Johnson - 'Il più grande sogno' by
Michele Vannucci - 'A pugni chiusi' by Pierpaolo de Sanctis -
'Noi e la Giulia' by Edoardo Leo - 'Una nobile causa' by Emilio
Briguglio. The opening event will be attended by Paolo Genovese,
currently one of the most important Italian directors. The
Festival will also be an opportunity to review some of the
historic movies and authors who have marked the history of
Italian Cinema, thus offering a full immersion in the
20th-century Italian cinema which began in the 2016 edition of
the festival. (ANSA).
